thesis statement

This assignment is designed to help you approach your first research paper. Beginning to work on your research paper early will help you avoid rushing things near the end of the course. Using current Turabian format, develop a 1-page document that includes the following aspects:

1)    A thesis statement

2)    A 1-paragraph discussion of where you see your paper going

3)    An outline of your paper. At this point, 2–3 main points and the 2–3 subpoints under each main point will suffice. For example:

I.

A.

B.

II.

A.

B.

III.

A.

B.

4)    At least 5 quality sources that you expect to use

5)    Any questions or challenges that you would like guidance on

Note: your focus may change as you move deeper into the research, but this assignment will at least get you thinking and moving in the right direction.
